Hi there,
i am a newbie regarding cms systems and currently trying to get PicoCMS up and running. Although the App installed without problems i can’t get my nextcloud server to display any sites from Pico.
I am sure that i am just missing a configuration step and would be thankful if anyone could point me to a step by step instruction (which files? What entries? …) so that i can resolve this.
Thanks in advance.
Well. I have the same problem. I can’t put pico working with nextcloud
Need more detailed information how to configure the apache…
Hi Richard,
Did you manage to get pico_cms working?
I’m using NextCloud on a Raspbery Pi and I can’t get Pico CMS to work. I think I’m stuck at how to incorporate the Apache settings.
Any advice you could give would be great!
Cheers,
Nic.
I’ve quite trying to use pico
I’m not an informatic guy i was too much for me
If you have sucess let me know how
/etc/apache2/sites-available# cat nextcloud.conf
Alias /nextcloud “/var/www/nextcloud/”
ProxyPass /sites/ http://localhost/index.php/apps/cms_pico/pico/
ProxyPassReverse /sites/ http://localhost/index.php/apps/cms_pico/pico/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /sites/(.*) http://localhost/index.php/apps/cms_pico/pico/$1 [P]
<Directory /var/www/nextcloud/>
Options +FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All
SetEnv HOME /var/www/nextcloud
SetEnv HTTP_HOME /var/www/nextcloud
OK. I tried the above and no go, so I tried the following.
Here’s the contents of my nextcloud.conf file in the /etc/apache2/sites-available folder
==================
Alias /nextcloud “/var/www/html/nextcloud/”
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /sites/(.*) https://mydomain.com/nextcloud/index.php/apps/cms_pico/pico/$1
<Directory /var/www/html/nextcloud/>
Options +FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All
SetEnv HOME /var/www/html/nextcloud
SetEnv HTTP_HOME /var/www/html/nextcloud
==============
After saving nextcloud.conf, I then restart apache.
If I then create a website called ‘test’ in the Pico-CMS app, the url given for that becomes
https://mydomain.com/sites/test
If I click that link in the Pico-CMS app, the browser opens up with the error.
=====================
The requested URL /sites/test was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at 192.168.0.22 Port 443
=================
Am I missing something here? and if so should the
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /sites/(.*) https://mydomain.com/nextcloud/index.php/apps/cms_pico/pico/$1
be somewhere else. If so where.
Hoping this is one of those Duhhh moments.
Thanks
Nick
Hi,
What version of Nextcloud ?
The latest 13.0.1
Nick
Has someone made PicoCMS work? It is supposed to be “easy” but it seems everybody is struggling to get it work, but without success?
I got it to work on nextcloud 13.0.4 debian 9 with apache on php 7.2.
Don forget if you use Let’s encrypt the active config file is nextcloud-le-ssl.conf instead of nextcloud.conf.
Like ludovicis in another thread said (and the pico administrator settings suggest) you have to add before the start of <directory /your/files/>:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /sites/(.*) https://yourdomain.com/index.php/apps/cms_pico/pico/$1 [QSA,L]
And to activate the changes:
(sudo) systemct restart apache2
I followed this instructions,
that are basically the same shown in NextCloud -> Configuration -> Pico CMS,
editing /etc/apache2/sites-available/nextcloud.conf.
The result for me is the same as parcelpacker above:
The requested URL /apps/cms_pico/pico/test was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at mydomain.com Port 443
As others said above, looks like is missing something in the instructions.
I can open the site at:
http://mysite.com/index.php/apps/cms_pico/pico/test
but if I enter:
http://mysite.com/site/test
the browser goes to:
http://mysite.com/index.php/apps/files/?dir=/&fileid=12
Oh, I got success with the configuration Above.
But before I had an error with
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Looking to the output of
journalctl -xe
It returned:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 3 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/nextcloud.conf:
Invalid command 'ProxyPass', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included
So, what was missing was:
sudo a2enmod proxy_http
And then:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
what had success,
and the site loaded.
Anyone figure out how to get PIcoCMS working with a Nextcloud snap install?
Is it possible to use PICOCMS on a shared hosting (ie no access to apache config)?
Thanks!
After installing the app, you can create your first website by going into Settings -> Clicking the Hamburger Button On The Left -> Pico CMS –> Create New Website Button
First step:
How can I make a vhost entry to make a picocms Site about.myname.com available under that domain? (so without the nextcloud domain?)
Would be nice to get that done with a letsencrypt certificate for that specific domain.
but than OTOH, there will probably not be a big demand for SSL on a picocms site)
Next step:
I would like to make that even cooler:
Lets say I have a dedicated Domain for “member sites” lets say “superadmin.com”
Once a user adds a new Site with the name john.superadmin.com and saves it, it should become available under the url http(s)://john.superadmin.com/
Ok so we probably need a new part in the nexcloud Vhost file (or a new vhost file) with some REGEX Magic.
Any idea?
I just updated my version of Nextcloud only to cause PICO sites to all show up with “Error 500”. I’m not a developer, no clue what to do. This is not simple as I’ve been two full days and no go. Is there another CMS option? PICO is very frustrating thus far.
What do I have to do, reinstall Nextcloud only to get PICO working?
